[ChristopherSea]

Geez, thanks all, wasn't expecting this kind of reception. I don't have many more since I only started doing them/painting at all less than a year ago, but if anyone can tell me an easy way to put them online/in a URL so that I can post them here I do have a few more.

Chris, mandala painting is a sort of exploration of the psyche, from what I understand, and is meant to be healing and revealing at once. All I know is it is calming and fun. I did my first one in a workshop with two Swedes who travel the world giving mandala-painting workshop weekends. It was pretty cool. (Btw have no clue where you got steampunk from but hey, I'll take it.)

And Shem yes they're both quite small. Don't remember exact dimensions but something like a foot x 8 inches maybe. Around there.


Mel I meant to comment on yours, it's lovely. The colors and composition are great--the top left almost looks like torn construction paper. Really cool.

Ha ha... Well, as I said the second one looks like an Aztec wheel to me. Isn't it strange that they had a calendar wheel and yet no carts on wheels? Anyway, the other looks like two concentric cogs or gears (with the little teeth). It almost is like part of a clockworks. Even that cross beam is rivited in this artists eye. Where your azure bleeds into the cerulean is suggestive of smoke or oil spray as those gears turn. The mechanized image took me to steampunk! I like it...

Apparently, Carl Jung drew these to re-balance his head after periods of enlightenment and intellectual growth. Enjoy!
